Marlboro Cigarette History

Marlboro began as a British company, named after its first factory site on Great Marlborough Street in London. In 1902, a branch of the company opened in New York. By the 1920s, Marlboro cigarettes were being advertised in the U.S. as a mild, woman’s brand. Things went well for the company until after the Second World War when it was out-competed by other brands that had built up a market among the troops. Marlboro began to seek a more masculine customer base in the 1950s and 60s, associating the brand with the American West, “Marlboro Country,” and the rugged “Marlboro Man”.
